Depositions are conducted on monolayer porous membrane at 50 °C by spray pyrolysis using methylaluminoxanes diluted with N‐methylpyrrolidone. The solution penetrates the film during spraying and the ultra‐thin layers are deposited on the side wall of internal pores. It is suggested that these layers are fine polycrystalline of Al2O3. In the obtained film, most of the pores are exposed on the surface and there is no increase in film thickness. Further, the ionic conductivity is the same as that of the received film, and the thermal stability is improved. This method can be an effective technique for improving the function of the separator used in the lithium‐ion batteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Non‐doped ZnO thin films are deposited on glass by spray pyrolysis using Diethylzinc diluted with diisopropyl ether. The droplet impacts are observed and the structural properties of films are studied as deposition temperature dependence. The shape of a droplet impacts changes from a hemisphere to a flat plane with increasing the deposition temperature. The images of cross sectional transmittance electron microscopy show granular non‐crystalline for RT (room temperature) sample and columnar polycrystalline for 150 °C sample as shown on the right‐side. The growth mechanism of ZnO thin films is discussed by considering the relationship between the shape of droplet impacts and the morphology of the deposited films. Also, the presence of the crystal formed by precursor is suggested for the films deposited at lower temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Non-doped ZnO thin films are deposited on glass substrates by spray pyrolysis using diethylzinc solution at a range from a room temperature to 150 °C while making N 2 gas flow in atmospheric pressure. The morphology, the structural property, the density and the optical band gap are studied. As the deposition temperature is increasing, the overall density and the optical band gap approach to the values of ZnO single crystal. The quality of ZnO thin film deposited at 150 °C becomes near ZnO single crystal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
